**Job summary**:
We are looking for exceptional staff to join the public inquiry into the Covid-19 pandemic, to learn lessons and better protect the people of the UK. From being established in 2021 to full public hearings, which have just commenced, the Inquiry continues to move at pace and make national news. The pandemic affected everyone in different ways. In order to hear from those who suffered hardship and loss, and scrutinise both the decision making and impact, there is a significant amount of work to be undertaken.

We are sponsored by the Cabinet Office, however the Inquiry sits independently from the Government.

- Creative assets to support our public-facing campaign to promote Every Story Matters. Every Story Matters is an opportunity for adults across the UK to share their experience of the pandemic directly with the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, to help us to shape recommendations for the future.
